Again, kind of misses another point. Scientific knowledge is most probably not needed to criticise science (I will likely get flamed for this). That's why various philosophers and even various religious people with varying knowledge of science state quite boldly various opinions about science and what not. Not exactly the best example, especially with how multiple fields often critique various things. Take a lot of what is given in psychology. Then take how various philosophers for example completely disagree with it and their method.
And I'm not criticising for my own purposes. I have no need for most of the paid modifications I've mentioned, it's just a lot of people most obviously do (see how often requests for them come up here?) and how there's obviously a gap where competition should exist but doesn't.
